In the article, "Simpsons' opening a suddenly dark turn," by Eddie Kim. the author is clearly discussing about how times have changed in today's world. The popular television series "The Simpsons" is currently airing for its 22nd season, and the introduction to the show has always been typically similar and very uncontroversial; until its latest episode. The introduction included scenes of " a sweatshop full of workers drawing individual animations cels of the characters...the gag ends with a shot of the 20th Century Fox logo surrounded with barbed wire."

Many advertisements and television shows today are trying to sell propaganda to its audience. Some times it can be quite obvious, other times, it may be small subliminal messages that are very subtle. A lot of shows right now like to base their story-lines on the reality of today's world, such as economy issues, war on terrorists, etc., which may persuade people into believing something that might not actually be true. The news have the ability to "brainwash" its audience into what they want people to see and feel. It's very hard for someone today to get away from reality when everything he/she sees, reads and hear about is just that.
